Handling Wedding Freak-Outs
I’ve had my fair share of wedding freak outs in this whole planning phase. And now that we’re a mere three weeks away, I’d hoped that all the big planning and such being done, I’d be free of the major freak-outs for the duration.
So when this morning, as we were getting ready for work, an e-mail threw my for a loop and caused a major freak-out on my part, The Monkey did what he does best – he tried to get practical about it, and help me see how it wasn’t as big a deal as I thought it was, and that it would all work out.
And of course, because I was still in the throes of panic over it, I snapped at him. Bad. And for about twenty minutes.
So now that I’m free of the major portion of the freak-out (I’m still internally panicking, don’t get me wrong. I’ve just finally hit an external sense of calm.) I’m wondering how others deal with this sort of thing. Stress, blowups, dealing with panicking, all that.
I tend to be someone who needs to be allowed to panic, no matter what, until the panic has run it’s course. Then I’m all sorts of ready for practical solutions, and welcome the help. But until I’m there, until I’m ready to hear it? It’s best to just let me panic. And The Monkey has a very hard time with that, so this isn’t the first fight like this we’ve had. Any suggestions for curbing this sort of drama in the future?
